 This is less of a review and more of a long comment. 

 There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers, however, I know full well the satisfaction each single review has the ability to bring. I spent the better part of today blazing through chapter two and I'm not even really sure I want to start the third story until it's finished, which I'm aware could take awhile. But alas, it's likely I'll read into it and try to keep up as updates roll out.

 Once again, I can't really stand tinies suffering any amount of injustice, or, at least, not if they don't deserve what they're getting. The entire SP project rightfully deserves to be shut down, I keep getting hung up on who's actually a criminal and who isn't. There's no way Brian's the first, not with how many get sorted through that nightmare. Even a six-month Chevalier like Allie had a kill count of 256.

 You really do seem to like to torture your characters, Pluto! For every happy chapter, it seems like another one follows right behind it with either Allie or Brian facing a new traumatic experience or reliving an older one. Life's no fairy tale by any means, but I really am looking forward to your characters finding the peace and love they so desperately deserve to have. I'm also interested in seeing Brian and Jen meet back up.

 I'm conflicted on whether or not I like the idea of shrinking being reversible, but with what our hero (and his partner, to an extent) seem to have gone through, maybe he does deserve to get big again and give Allie that hug she's earned. She does everything with good intentions behind them. Even getting lost in her fantasies in bed with her traumatized boyfriend nearby, he was never in any real danger beyond some inadvertent mental damage. I do so fancy a giantess being unaware of the duress they're subjecting their tiny to, and even more tickled when they feel guilty and reconcile with them. It's just too cute.

 Actually, I'm almost inspired to start another story. That's how these things happen, you see. An image generates in my head and I flesh it out a bit (and eventually abandon it.) What image did you generate for me? Well, it's a short one. A slightly confused tiny is traipsing across a bed in the dark, trepidation present in their steps. Whether they know they're alone or not is a mystery, but they are caught surprised by a swift hand lashing out at them from underneath some heavy blankets, and they're pulled with a quick yelp underneath the comforters, out of view. What fate lies beyond is not a tragic one. Was it a friend? A girlfriend? Pulled into a lover's embrace? What if instead it is a concerned sibling, a sisterly hand gently snatching them up to hide them from an abusvie parental figure?

 This is merely inspired by Allie becoming possessive over Brian during their initial bed-time play, before the amnesia. Trapped under Allie's hand, being reminded of the power she actually could exert over him if she weren't so kind and loving... Even a simple premise like that sets my mind wandering, coming up with various scenarios like the one in the previous paragraph. I'm not going to write anything any time soon, though..

 Anyways, I'm a fan of your work. Excellent job on using correct grammar, and I'm not even sure I could find a single typo if you held a gun to my head.

 Repentance, guilt, kindness, love, these ingredients were combined to make a happy size-love story. But Professor Pluto accidentally added a problematic ingredient! Chemical Trauma!

 Until next time.

 

Author's Response:

Thank you very much for another review/comment! Absolutely, reviews are always nice, and I seriously appreciate when somebody takes the time to leave one. Especially really long ones, like yours! I honestly have no idea how many chapters the third story is gonna end up being, since I don't know if I'm going to have to split any events up. No matter if you wait until it's done or read it as it comes out, I really hope you enjoy it! 

I'm really glad that you enjoyed this story as well! Although the Chevalier content is mostly gone, there was still plenty of *mental* torture as well. I had the very same thought as you a couple times - "boy, I sure love putting these people through a terrible time." I said in another response once that I'm glad they're fictional, since they would almost certainly beat me up if they could for writing them such difficult lives. However, hopefully the bad stuff just elevates the good stuff? Maybe? I hope??

The whole reversible thing was definitely a bit of a retcon, based on the reviews. However, I hope that I can execute it in a believable/earned way. Absolutely, they've all earned a happy ending, and this is one way to get them there. Allison was definitely never malicious when she screwed up. That's why she beats herself up so hard, since the last thing she wants to do is hurt him. I also like the theme of unaware duress followed by guilty reconciliation, and I love that story idea! If you ever decide to flesh it out, I'd love to read it. I like the thought of it being a sibling, since I feel like this site needs more gentle sibling interaction. However, like I've said, do what's best for you first. With that being said, I'd be absolutely honored if I was able to help inspire something!

Once again, thanks so much for your reviews! I'm seriously happy that you're enjoying the series, since you're one of my inspirations. Oh, I've had plenty of typos and mistakes, but I'm not above going back and fixing them in the future, which is likely why there don't *appear* to be any. Autocorrect also helps a lot, judging by the fair number of typos I've made in my responses to reviews. Lastly, you're absolutely right - my gentle formula involves a generous sprinkle of emotional trauma. It drastically increases the chances of it blowing up in my face, but it's been okay so far. I hope you enjoy the third story!!

aaaaaaaa this was so cute!! not doing an essay again because this has not left my brain is essay mode, that last chapter had my heart soaring (i think, this is the only time it's done this) and honestly this review would just be a babbling mess if i wrote it immediately

tbh i'm starting to wonder if i'm demi now, because i related so hard to brian wanting to like sex but having no idea what to do, and this is probably the only sex scene i actually enjoyed reading this much? anyway, i really liked how everything felt earned in this story, like i actually empathize with these characters, and it feels so satisfying to see them succeed, and uh yeah you're really good at writing ok bye!

Author's Response:

I'm so glad to see another review from you!! Your reviews of the first story meant a lot to me, and I'm really happy you enjoyed this story as well. Thank you so much for the review, and your kind words.

You know, I also can relate to Brian's feelings regarding sexuality. That's partly why I wrote it in, because I've had similar thoughts. Sexuality is really tough, and I'd be truly honored if my story contributed to a better understanding of your own. I wish you the best.

It means a lot that this story was able to make your heart soar, and that you enjoyed the sex scene so much! I tried to make emotion the focus in this story, so I'm glad it came through for you.

Thanks again for the review! I really appreciate it, and I hope I can look forward to more in the future! Take care.

I've really enjoyed this. Ordinarilly I enjoy female growth/NWO type stuff, but the excellent character writing and intrging plot really won me over. Thanks for your work, I am eagerly anticipating the rest!

I am pleased to see this is getting a continuation. I cannot recall the last time I got hooked on a story until I came across your title. It even pushed me to start my own story (though it is not as complex as yours is, that's for sure) Looking forward to the future updates!

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review! I really appreciate your kind words, and I'm glad that you're happy to see a sequel. 

Also, I'm incredibly honored that my story helped you decide to start writing your own!!! That makes me so happy to hear. Writing has proven to be a wonderful experience for me, so I hope that it brings you happiness as well. I truly hope that you will keep it up, and I'll be sure to give your story a read!

By far the most pleasent surprise I've had in a while. At first when I saw the name of the story I thought it was going to be a fan made continuation, but seeing your penname made me smile with excitement! 

I'm really glad you decided to continue the story, especially in a gentle way that explores the depths of this micro/macro relationship. I believe I mentioned in one of my reviews of the first story that I usually read the cruel crush/torture type of stories much more, but your story is by far one of my favorite on the site right now, especially due to the gentle factor!

Can't wait to see how this story unfolds, and don't sweat the chapters too much, you have all the time in the world!

Keep up the great work!

Author's Response:

Thanks for reviewing again! I'm really glad to hear that this was a pleasant surprise for you. I'm pretty surprised myself that I'm choosing to do this, considering how I felt after completing the last story. Like I said, though, I've had an unexpected flood of ideas since then.

I really appreciate you saying that this is one of your favorites at the moment! That means a lot. I tremendously enjoy gentle stories, so I'm glad that I can share that enjoyment with you through this story, even if it's not normally what you would read. I hope you'll continue to enjoy it!
